First-degree unlawful possession is narrowed to only Schedule I or II narcotic drugs, with maximum incarceration capped at 3 years and deferred prosecution as the preferred alternative for first offenses

Expands Good Samaritan protections for drug overdoses by clarifying immunity from prosecution for unlawful possession when medical assistance is sought in good faith
